He said: "Now is the time to pick up chocolate Easter eggs for pennies. Nearly all the supermarkets have reduced their prices, as well as some up-market retailers like Hotel Chocolat.

"Our community has been waiting for the price to drop. For the same amount of money we can now afford bigger and better Easter eggs. That's what bargain hunting is all about: getting more for less.
